[center][h1][color=92278f]Nikolai Maximillion[/color][/h1][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/9R3Blvh.png[/img][/center] When Latrell brought up the issue of who to kill first, Nikolai turned to face the man with a smile, [color=92278f] “ No need to be concerned. With me here, both targets will be easily squashed. Just drink up lad! Let’s have a little fun. ”[/color] As far as Nikolai was concerned, they had been given easy money. This mission would be a piece of cake. Alice also decided to keep up the serious conversation. [color=92278f]“Are you that scared of a lizard, Alice? We can deal with that stuff after we have some fun and get to know each other more.” [/color] He nudged her with his elbow and gave a wink. She had asked everyone to introduce themselves, which at least would be interesting. He looked at the masked man that had been told to start off. The guy apparently did not even know his own name. Nikolai figured he had some sort of brain damage, especially when he requested to be called “fluffy” or “fox.” Fluffy proceeded to pull out a pipe and start blowing pink smoke at all of them.Nikolai waved her hand in front of his face, trying to dispel the smoke, but it seemed to swallow them all. [color=92278f]"Well, I guess we know who's bringing the party favors," [/color] He quipped. [color=92278f]"Could say we got a [i]party animal[/i] in our hands.”[/color] After a moment, he then added, [color=92278f]“ Also listen dude I don’t know what you are trying to say, Fluffy, but you are gonna have to speak normally.”[/color] Even though, it seemed ridiculous that blowing smoke was all Fluffy had to offer, Nikolai did see the merit in it. It could come in handy especially in a situation they needed to escape. As the introductions continued, Nikolai did note that Adelaide had brought up a good point that reptilian in nature could mean a lot of things. Still, he couldn’t bother to be worried about it, not when he was surrounded by so much alcohol. Nikolai took the opportunity of silence to dramatically slam his hands on the table as he stood up to take the attention. With a drink in his hand, he leaned a foot up on the seat and flashed them one of his famous dazzling smiles, [color=92278f]“Well I am Nikolai Maximillion as you all probably know. Yes, I am even more attractive in person!”[/color] With his free hand, he pointed to the glaive strapped to his back, [color=92278f] “Yes. That is the legendary glaive of Nikolai Maximillion. The one that killed a Beholder. Don’t faint, ladies. And don’t you dare faint either Fluffy!”[/color] He grinned at Adelaide playfully and then readdressed his gaze to the group, [color=92278f]"I don't like to brag, but I've been adventuring for quite some time now, and let me tell you, I've faced more beasts than I can count. Some people say I'm lucky, but I like to think that my perfected skills and my wits have something to do with it."[/color]He paused for a moment as if considering something. [color=92278f]“ "Speaking of skills, I'm also pretty good at drinking, dancing, and charming the pants off beautiful ladies."[/color] He flashed a playful look at Alice and Adelaide.[color=92278f]“ "But don't worry, I won't steal your hearts, at least not until after this job is done."[/color] He then raised his glass in a mock toast.[color=92278f] "So, here's to a successful mission, plenty of loot, and lots of good stories to tell afterward. Cheers, my friends!"[/color]
